if I were you, I'd take that machine to the first computer store and let them hook up XP for you. 3 days lost and who's paying for that time? I bet people with experience would fix things faster since they have all the other RAMs and cables and stuff they can try on your machine so they can figure out which part is causing problems.
I used to do all this shit myself too and would be ashamed to take my machine to the store, lol, but today I don't care anymore. I want it to work and fast and since I fallen behind a bit with this I rather pay a few bucks for geeks to do it for me than I busting my balls like that. Time = money.
